How to Make An Appointment With Dr. Brem

Regular Annual Mammogram:

  1. Call Poonam Arora 202-741-3038. Inquire about Dr. Brem's schedule. Allow 3-4 weeks lead time for an annual mammogram screening. Verify whether or not you need a pre-authorization from your insurance company. Hospital based breast centers are billed differently than independent centers.
  2. From your doctor, request a prescription for a mammogram.
  3. Bring all old films AND a prescription from your doctor for a mammogram.
  4. Upon arriving at GWU MFA building, inform the second receptionist that you are Dr. Brem's patient.
  5. If you have any difficulty with the above scheduling procedure, email Dr. Brem at rbrem@mfa.gwu.edu.

IF you need a problem appointment or second opinion:

  1. Call Poonam Arora at 202-741-3038, or email her at poonam.arora@gwu-hospital.com. Explain your situation and request an appointment with Dr. Brem ASAP. Dr. Brem feels very strongly that women should not have to wait when they are dealing with breast imaging problems and should be seen within 24 hours, if at all possible. Dr. Brem arrives at 7:30am in order to "fit in" such emergencies. Understand, your appointment may be as early as 8:00am, before the existing scheduled day begins.
  2. Bring all old films AND a prescription from your doctor for a diagnostic mammogram, or, if you have scheduled a consultation bring your films and records.
  3. If you have any difficulty with the above scheduling procedure, email Dr. Brem at rbrem@mfa.gwu.edu.
